Auditory and vestibular manifestations of Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada disease
Conclusion: There is a high incidence of cochlear and vestibular end-organ involvement in patients with Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada disease. The adequacy and timing of treatment has a significant effect on the disease outcome. Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada disease appears to affect the inner ear end-organ. Patients who develop bilateral profound sensory hearing loss are suitable candidates for cochlear implantation.
